Description
The Church of St Nicholas is a Grade II* listed building located on Ickleton Road in Elmdon. This church features a flint and rubble construction, with a 15th-century west tower. The rest of the church was rebuilt, likely on the original foundations, in 1852 and 1879, and underwent restoration in the early 20th century. The design reflects the style of the 14th and 15th centuries. The west tower has a modern parapet top and has been significantly restored. Notable interior features include a late 16th-century marble altar tomb with a panelled canopy and an inscription dedicated to Thomas Meade, Justice of Common Pleas in 1585, as well as two 16th-century brasses. The church serves as the central feature of the village and is recognized for its topographical significance and internal features.
